Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London commissioned temporary works at Ruislip Depot to support operator training and testing and commissioning of the MPaC Delivery System, including Kirow cranes and tilting wagons, ahead of the Aldgate Renewals and P&C Blockade. The works comprise a temporary mock tunnel over Roads 58B and 58C and a temporary platform alongside Road 58B, creating a realistic operating environment. The requirement is a construction project covering temporary structures, structural products, construction materials and associated rail-related supplies. The appointed contractor is responsible for acting as both Principal Contractor and Principal Designer and for fulfilling all temporary works requirements, including the Temporary Works Coordinator and Temporary Works Supervisor roles and maintenance of the Temporary Works Register. Delivery is in London, at Ruislip Depot.

This completed below-threshold procurement used a limited competition. The single lot was awarded to Tone Scaffolding Services Limited, an SME, with an award date of 17 July 2026. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 16 July 2027. Its value is £96,746 excluding VAT, or £116,095 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement covered works rather than goods or services, with the requirement grouped into one completed lot. The process was managed by Transport for London. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and the agreed contract value; the procurement record does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or named evaluation weighting.

This requirement indicates demand for contractors able to design, manage and deliver temporary works in an operational rail-depot environment. A credible competitor would need practical capability in temporary structures, scaffolding, platforms and mock tunnel construction, together with experience coordinating construction materials and structural products safely around railway infrastructure. The Principal Contractor and Principal Designer responsibilities make competence in design risk management, construction planning and site control important. Suppliers should also be able to provide suitably experienced people for Temporary Works Coordinator and Temporary Works Supervisor duties, maintain a robust Temporary Works Register and manage the interface between temporary works and rail engineering activities. Experience supporting operator training, systems testing and commissioning, including heavy rail plant such as cranes and tilting wagons, would strengthen future credibility with Transport for London.
